Where art thou?

I haven’t forgotten how we were so rudely interrupted yesterday by my keeper. I wasn’t quite finished with you, and you were not entirely finished off. She did something with you that I couldn’t see, my unclaimed prize. I know you’re still out there, I can sense it from the depths of my being. Your tail remains with me, but somehow, the rest of you managed to escape my clutches. Oh, lizardly being of irresistible flesh… where art thou?
